Other ID: none
Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s): Biogeochemistry, groundwater monitoring, and environmental assessment (LQ000I4)
Principal Investigator(s): Meagan Eagle, Kevin Kroeger
Affiliate Investigator(s): Faming Wang, MBL Jim Tang, MBL
Information Specialist(s): Meagan Eagle
Data Type(s): Environmental Data: CTD, Environmental Data: Depth, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Geology, Time Series: Geochemical Monitoring
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Collect marsh cores, pore-water and surface water conductivity, temperature and depth time-series data, and conduct elevation surveys in 11 tidally-restricted estuary systems on Cape Cod to examine environmental geochemistry and health of the estuary. Three additional sites in Rhode Island were added to this study; two sites with a restored tidal restriction and one control natural salt marsh site in Narragansett Bay.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Woods Hole, MA

Equipment Used: CTD 19+ with OBS, PAR, DO, Chl, In-Situ AquaTroll 200 (CTD), Real Time Kinematic GPS, Push corer (wh), Other
Information to be Derived: Geochemistry, elevation of transects along tidally restricted creeks
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Marsh sediment coring, CTD logging in surface water and shallow wells, and elevation information of tidally restricted creeks
